Ah, yes.  This brings me to something I had nearly
forgotten.  I'm assuming you're implying that Typhon
is Sev's father (which is not a terribly popular
opinion here since it's generally accepted that Ouen
is sev's pop).  This may be true but it's just as
likely that Piaton is his father since Typhon's head
is grafted onto him at some point.  Ymar is certainly
the son of Typhon or Piaton, and if Sev is not
actually Ymar (meaning he's a clone), he's certainly a
vessel for the first Autarch.  In my mind this
explains the parallels between Sev's and Ymar's lives
and Sev's confused memories.  All my humble opinion,
of course.
